GoogleBeat: Brings trends to you in video format

29 August 2010 651 views 3 Comments

Search and ye shall find… well that’s what Google thinks, but sometimes when you want to tap into the collective search listings of the world, even Google Trends and Google Insights for Search don’t give you that quick snapshot that you’re looking for. That’s where the new Google Beat episodes look to help out.

The short YouTube vids briefly discuss the week’s hot web search trends and aim to give us a flavour of what is trending on Google. In this first epsisode, Google’s Anne Espiritu (who has probably prompted many image searches in her own right) explains how egg recall, Miss Universe 2010, and the 19th Amendment all made Google’s most searched hitlist.

I like this ‘webisode’ format and could make for great mobile viewing fodder on the commute to work. I just hope that future episodes won’t be as US focused. Perhaps Google UK could release its own version? Comments below if you think this would be a good idea…

Thanks to ReadWriteWeb’s Chris Cameron for the heads-up on this.
